My favorite line to append to a description of something unpleasant to do is " not nearly as much fun as it sounds like", as in "emergency drain snaking at 10:30 PM on Saturday evening is not nearly as much fun as it sounds like". Or "Rushing the child to the hospital emergency room is not nearly as much fun as it sounds like". It also can be attached to many descriptions of tasks assigned by a pointy haired boss similar to the "Dilbert" model.

I can no longer hear the word Haiku without thinking of "Spam Haiku"

For example...
Blue can of steel
what promise do you hold?
salt flesh so ripe
My friend pork shoulder
I return to you. this time
I've brought mayonnaise
And who dares mock Spam?
you? you? you are not worthy
of one rich pink fleck

How about some haiku?
(not mine; they're all cribbed)
Windows XP crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
Seeing my great fault
Through darkening blue windows
I begin again
Errors have occurred.
They won't tell you where or why;
Lazy programmers.
Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
enter this system.
wind catches lily
scatt'ring petals to the wind:
segmentation fault
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
To have no errors
Would be life without meaning
No struggle, no joy
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
Hal, open the file
Hal, open the damn file, Hal
open the file, please Hal
The ten thousand things
How long do any persist?
Netscape, too, has gone.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
